ABSTRACT
Introduction: The successful restoration of damaged tissue requires a complicated, dynamic process called wound healing, which is supported by a wide range of cellular activities. Natural materials generated from medicinal plants have been identified, and their therapeutic potential evaluation has resulted in the development of novel, affordable medicines that can be used to treat a variety of illnesses, including chronic wounds, with limited side effects. Aims and Objectives: This study aimed to assess the wound-healing property of Glycyrrhiza Glabra (Athimathuram) plant extracts by using an in vitro scratch assay test, as well as to evaluate their cellular toxicity. Materials and Methods: Using the Soxhlet device, ethanolic extraction of the plant material was done, and the cytotoxicity of the extract on the Vero cell line was examined using the 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay. One of the most often utilized mammalian in vitro cell lines in research was Vero cells. To assess the wound healing properties of G. glabra plant extract, an in vitro scratch assay was used, and their potential mechanisms of action were examined. Results: Even at higher concentrations, the MTT assay showed that G. Glabra plant extracts had no cytotoxic effects on the cells. In vitro scratch assay showed that the healing process of the cell line was increased by 23.33% when compared with the controlled cell lines. Conclusion: Our research demonstrated that G. glabra has in vitro wound healing capabilities. As a result, G. glabra can be suggested as a possible source of compounds that treat wounds.
ABSTRACT
One of the primary tasks of systematic biology is the development of our biological nomenclature and classifications. The key purpose for the development of a standard nomenclature for a disease is the need for a common language for the statement of diagnostic terms and for a means or system whereby diagnosis could be suitably recorded without chaos. Odontogenic tumor nomenclature and classification have confused physicians over the years. Ameloblastoma is one such entity among odontogenic tumors, which has continuously changed to be an evolution of the terms and taxonomy used in literature. In this review, we aim to provide a fundamental basis for the understanding of how the etymology and the position of ameloblastoma in odontogenic tumor classification have evolved over the years.
ABSTRACT
Identification plays a major role in any crime investigation. The pattern of wrinkles on the lips has individual characteristics like fingerprints. Cheiloscopy is a forensic investigation technique that deals with identification of humans based on lips traces. In the past decades, lip-print studies attracted the attention of many scientists as a new tool for human identification in both civil and criminal issues. The lip crease pattern is on the vermilion border of the lip, which is quite mobile and lip prints may vary in appearance according to the pressure, direction and method used in making the print. It concludes by enlightening the readers with the fact that the possibilities to use the red part of lips to identify a human being are wider than it is commonly thought.
